Question

when will the sun take longer time to set in the west?during summer or winter? why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Sun takes a longer time to set in the West during summers.

Explanation:

• The Earth's axis is inclined by 23.5 degrees and is not oriented vertically.
• As the Earth revolves around the sun, the north end of the axis is always oriented toward the North Star.
• Seasonal fluctuations are caused by this tilt, which is paired with the earth's rotation around the sun.
• Summer in the northern hemisphere corresponds to winter in the southern, and vice versa.
• Our year-round climate would be pretty dull if the axis was not slanted, and many parts of the globe would receive little light.

During Summers:

• In its revolution around the sun, the Northern Hemisphere leans toward the sun, there are more daylight hours, and the sun's angle is more perpendicular to us than at other times of the year.
• More heat is produced by longer days and more concentrated sunshine.
• In the summer, shadows are shorter because the sun touches the Earth more directly.

Hence, during summers the Sun takes a long time to set in the West.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sun takes longer to set in the west during summers as compared to winters.

Explanation:

The sun takes longer to set in the west during summers as compared to winters.

This is because of the following potential reasons:

• Due to the tilt in the earth's axis, there is a slight tilt in the ecliptic as well by $23.5$° relative to the celestial equator.
• During the revolution of the earth around the sun, the northern hemisphere of the earth is tilted towards the sun hence the days are longer.
• This is the reason why the sun is seen for a longer time in the northern hemisphere.

Hence, the sun takes longer to set in the west during summers as compared to winters.
